Thick glaze makes It difficult to make out the writing on the bottom of bowl. I can feel the imprint of the letters. What should I expect to see?

This is Mrs. Sirrine and it was my review of the products I bought for my husband and myself. The printing on the bottom of the small bowl is as follows (lowercase): fiesta, mfg in USA. Hope this answers your question. They are a worthwhile item and we use them all the time.

I'm a newbie to fiestaware, so I can't say for sure when a piece is authentic, but my plate, large bowl, and small bowl markings are all different. The large bowls have a printed mark, the small bowls and plates have a vague engraved marking. I'm pretty sure they're all authentic because they match all the markings on the link below. But some are print, others are engraved and a little hard to read. I suspect mine are all new or relatively new. I don't know much about vintage fiestaware. Hope this link helps.http://www.texascooking.com/fiestaware/identifying_fiestaware.htm

The bottom is flat. The IS an embossed logo there, but it's pressed in, so nothing is sticking up. The lettering is flush with the surface.

I'd send it back. It could be old, or melted and re-solidified. It's supposed to be creamy, not grainy.

Lids are clear. Yes there's writing.... says Xeonic in large letters then in very small letters it says "The best freshness by an excellent air tightness. Good design & convenient style" The writing is not an eyesore by any means. Didn't even notice it until I received your ? and looked to answer you. They're such a nice set...strong,bpa-free,dishwasher safe,etc. Got sick of the take n toss cheap stuff because they really do stain, unlike these bowls. Hope I helped!!!

The bottom of both the bowl and plate are made of a rubbery non-slip surface (the colored part on the very bottom in the item photos). This rubbery surface is slightly raised (on the order of the thickness of a few sheets of paper) at the edges relative to the middle, so the bottom isn't exactly flat.

It's marble veneer. Very thin (~1/4" thick) slabs of marble glued to cover a thicker wood slab on the top and sides. Under the bottom the wood and glue or epoxy is visible, but you have to be under it to see. You can see on the sides where the edges of the marble veneer pieces meet if you look very closely, but otherwise it has the appearance of a solid marble slab. Setting tableware on it I can tell from the sound it is not solid stone, but not sure anyone else would notice.

Thank you for mentioning this problem. I will use a clear-coat nail polish over my white lettering. Hope that will make it last longer.

Hi, Sherry, I just checked all of my bowls, I have no writing, on my bowls at all. Sorry I could not help. Dolores

I am not sure. The bottom seems to be of a heavy metal. There are several symbols and words that are all embossed in , I think, are German or Scandanavian.. I can read " lifetime guarantee". I have had it a year or more with no issues.

I wouldn't know for certain - sounds like it could be oxidation. You could ask for a different pot. I use mine every week, but it had no marks brand new. It has a few pencil-point sized black dots now but it has had burned food when I did not watch it closely and had the heat too high or was cooking something too long by multi-tasking. The dots don't worry me, but if your pan came to you in that condition, I'd ask for a new one. Contact amazon. They can tell you how to send it back and get a new one. They have return labels you can print out. Whenever I have called them with a problem, they promptly call me and I have resolved every one of the few problems I have had. I hope I was helpful.

There is a microwave symbol on the bottom of the bowls. I have not microwaved in any of them.

My suggestion would be clear glass cups or whatever your personal preference would be. Another option would be fiesta ware or similar stoneware but the colors might not match exactly.

There is a slight glaze, but I'm pretty sure it fades after 24 hours... Though, now that I think about it, it may still very slightly be there.. Nothing too crazy though!

Hi, June! My project was delayed, so tiles are still in bags. I just checked, and yes, the letters and the little numbers are both very slightly indented into the wood.

Mine is engraved, I can feel the impressions. There was some darkening from oil, but the work is well done. I love mine:)

This light shows through on the edges of the letters. It is possible to see the letters in the dark, but it is not %100 clear. Hope that helps!

I have part of an older set from my Mom ... 2007? no mark on bottom, only lines from foot inward. Also have salad/soup plates with same center designs and wavy edge - no markings.
